NDP House Leader Nathan Cullen: NDP

Government House Leader Dept: OTTAWA - New Democrat MPs have begun slipping procedural knots over Parliament in a bid to prevent the Harper government from speedily passing its massive budget implementation bill, according to Winnipeg Free Press. NDP House leader Nathan Cullen said more obstacles will be rolled in the government's path in the days to come. The legislative roadblocks are aimed at preventing the government from proceeding with a second-reading vote on the omnibus bill planned for Monday and government House leader Peter Van Loan holds a press conference in the Foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 9, 2012. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick The NDP triggered a series of procedural delays Wednesday, just two hours after the government rejected the official Opposition's proposal to split the 400-plus-page bill up into manageable chunks that could be scrutinized more closely.
